6.6 PLANS TO EXPAND OR MODIFY THE WATER SYSTEM` The current water system is inadequate to meet current ISO storage requirements for fire flow and inadequate to meet 1998 peak hour fire flow requirements. An additional 400,000 gallons of storage will meet the City's ISO and peak hour storage requirements for the next 20 years. Additional storage is planned to be installed in 1998. Additional well capacity is needed to meet the projected demand. Since the City does not want to drill another well, the City is looking into redeveloping the existing wells to get additional firm pumping capacity. To be able to increase the firm pumping capacity, both wells will need to be redeveloped. It is estimated that Well No. 1 can be increased from 625 gpm to approximately 1000 gpm and Well No. 2 can be increased from 650 gpm to approximately 1000 gpm. After both wells have been redeveloped, the daily firm pumping capacity is anticipated to be 1.080 MGD. The projected maximum day demand in the year 2015 is 1.129 MGD. It should be noted that the 1.129 MGD is based on development of commercial and industrial development at 1,000 gpd. If the Commercial/industrial development does not require that kind of water demand, it is possible that the year 2015 maximum day demand will be less than the 1.080 MGD available after redeveloping Loth wells. The City will implement stricter water conservation measures in the future to reduce maximum day demands so that an additional well will not be necessary. Following is the City's proposed implementation schedule for the projected needed water system projects. Implementation Schedule: Item Puruose Pr jected Installation Year Redevelop Well No. 1 Provide 200 to 500 gpm 1998 to 1999 additional pump capacity Redevelop Well No. 2 Provide 200 to 500 1999 to 2000 additional firm pump capacity 400,000 gallon storage Meet projected storage 1997 to 1999 tank requirements CWP- 260A.080 6 -8 260-090-25
